2024 KEYNOTE SPEAKER, JEN MUELLER

Veteran sports broadcaster Jen Mueller is an Emmy-award winning producer and sports broadcaster. She just completed her 15th season as the Seattle Seahawks sideline radio reporter and has been a member of the Seattle Mariners television broadcast team on ROOT SPORTS for 17 years. Jen specializes in building relationships, delivering meaningful content in short bursts from the sidelines and dodging Gatorade baths during post-game interviews. Throughout her 23-year career she has been on the sidelines of NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA and college football and basketball games. Jen was honored for her work in the industry in 2022, as the recipient of the Keith Jackson Media Excellence Award presented by the Seattle Sports Commission.

In addition to her work on the sidelines, Jen is established as a business communication expert and the founder of Talk Sporty to Me. She delivers keynote presentations that motivate and inspire. Jen works with companies that want to level up their communication skills and provides actionable conversation strategies based on her locker room experiences and interviewing skills. Jen would call it thinking outside the box scores and she’s outlined her approach in the three books she’s published. Jen is also the executive producer, host and creator of “I Cook, You Measure” a YouTube cooking show that’s part cooking instruction, part entertainment and all about connecting over food and wine.

She likes to tell people that sports fits her personality and sports broadcasting fits her skillset. Talking comes naturally to her, so much so that her high school guidance counselor identified it as a strength and nudged her toward a career in broadcasting. It only took a few classes for Jen to find her passion and outlet for storytelling. Her current title is sideline reporter and TV producer but she views her job as giving people a platform to tell their stories. Yes, she loves sports, but it’s all about people. 

Jen graduated from Southern Methodist University in 2000 with degrees in Broadcast Journalism and Public Policy.

In addition to her work as a broadcaster and business owner, Jen is a regular volunteer at her local food bank in Issaquah, WA and is passionate about ending food insecurity in our communities
